Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong raised her head in a daze and looked at the calm person opposite her.

She reached out and took out the banknotes from the box. She counted them again and again.

Eight hundred taels, he actually had eight hundred taels of silver!!!

This person was actually an invisible tycoon. In the entire Yongfu Village, there was probably no one richer than him.

But the problem was..

“You have so much money, yet you still eat dry steamed buns, live in a dilapidated house, and wear clothes filled with patches?”

Even if he didn’t know how to cook, hiring someone shouldn’t be a problem, right? There was no need to live like a refugee.

Shao Qingyuan glanced at the banknotes in her hand. His eyes were as calm as if it was just a few ordinary pieces of paper. There was no emotion in them.

After a while, he said, “It doesn’t matter. I’m all alone.”

Gu Yundong suddenly paused. She actually felt that his words made her heart ache for some reason.

Yes, he had always been alone. He had no family or friends. Even in the Zeng family, he kept a distance from them.

He was neither close nor on good terms with them.

The people in the village regarded him as a ferocious beast. When children saw him, they would avoid him as much as possible. He was a loner. Whether he had money or not, it was meaningless to him. He just needed to eat his fill and wear warm clothes. He did not need a higher quality of life.

Everyone called him a wolf cub, but Gu Yundong had never seen him do anything to hurt others. Even if he did, it was someone else who provoked him first, or a hooligan like Hu Liang.

She didn’t know why Shao Qingyuan’s attitude was so cold even after his grandfather died, but she believed that there must be some unknown reason.

Gu Yundong tightened her grip slightly. For a moment, her mood became a little complicated. historical

After a long time, she slowly exhaled and said, “300 taels should be enough for me.”

She took out six banknotes worth fifty taels and handed the box over.

Shao Qingyuan shook his head and didn’t take it. “I’ll give it all to you. You can use it. If it’s not enough, I’ll think of another way.”

“Shao Qingyuan, you..”

“Money is useless by my side. You should still buy land and fruit trees. There are many places where you need to spend a lot of money.”

“You can buy land, too.”

Shao Qingyuan paused and said in a low voice, “The village won’t sell the land to me.”

“Why not?” Gu Yundong was surprised. As far as she knew, although Chen Liang was not very close to Shao Qingyuan, he would not have any bad opinions of him. He was just like an ordinary villager. It was not to the extent that the village chief would not sell the land to him, right?

Shao Qingyuan didn’t think there was anything inappropriate to say. Everyone in the village knew about this. “When I left the Li family back then, in order to repay them for raising me, I promised in front of the village chief and everyone that I wouldn’t buy an acre of land.”

Gu Yundong was so angry that she wanted to laugh. “You’re not allowed to buy land just because they raised you? That’s ridiculous. What were you thinking back then?”

“Back then.. as long as I could sever ties with the Li family, any conditions wouldn’t be difficult.” Perhaps because of the past, Shao Qingyuan’s gaze gradually became a little cold.

Seeing this, Gu Yundong quickly changed the topic. “Forget it. It’s all in the past. Then your 800 taels..”

“You use it.” Shao Qingyuan’s tone was firm.

Gu Yundong pursed her lips and looked up at him, then at the banknotes in his hand, and then at him.

After a while, she suddenly seemed to have made a major decision and looked at Shao Qingyuan solemnly..
